Johnny Bugler

Johnny’s art is about places he has been. It has often been associated thematically with the sea and the transition between land and sea; the coast. He is interested in the folklore that surrounds the sea and ocean travel; the symbolism of its ever changing surface and the mystery of what lies beneath. Some of the images stem from travels to coastal areas of Asia and Africa and allude to the notion of the exotic idyll and paradise lost.

Kari Cahill

Kari Cahill has worked in a range of creative fields both as an artist and designer - a combination that has resulted in a diverse practice. She grew up surrounded by the landscapes of Athens, Greece and West Cork. She lived in Dublin for 9 years, and after spending time in Bombay, India has found herself back in West Cork.

Kari is drawn to the wild natural landscape of the Atlantic Coast of this Island. An important part of her process is spending time on a specific site considering the impact of the elements and how her work will form around these conditions. Although her sculptural work sees juxtapositions of form + function, her two dimensional work sees a greater emphasis on texture and movement. Her paintings focus on the energy of the natural landscapes around her. Bright streaks of light, heavy areas of dark and delicate changes in texture can be seen throughout her work.

She is one half of the curatorial body Lay of the Land, which aims to drive artists and the experience of art outwards, into the wilderness, forging deeper connection with Ireland’s natural landscape. This is achieved through exhibitions, residencies, dialogue and short term projects in an ever growing number of locations throughout this Island. Their most recent exhibition titled TOMBOLO took place on Brow Head, Mizen Peninsula, and will reoccur in Sept 2017 in the same location.

She believes that by drawing the viewer out of the gallery space, and into alternative spaces, she can create and facilitate the production of art works that engage with the audiences inhabiting those spaces.

“Time in rural surrounds, isolated to the edge of the Atlantic, allows you experience the season’s elements more deeply. These works are a visual interpretation of these experiences; the winter light’s stark shadows which linger, fading low on the mountainside; the pure vast darkness of an overcast night on the peninsula; wild winds howling through the wet winter grasses.

By pulling and dragging colour and texture across the canvas with the same energy felt from the crashing rain or by manipulating the visceral medium of paint to create a balance of motion, each piece gestures to presence in a fleeting moment. This series pushes the viewpoint away from specifics and expresses the whole, the essence of the landscape.”

Callaghan's work investigates ideas and conjectures about Utopian philosophy and science fiction. He wants to question and address the limitations of the human condition, revealing the simplicity of how we all travel consciously or unconsciously through the third and fourth dimensions of time and space. These conceptual goals directly reference his concerns with how and where science and the visual experience of art meet. Kevin uses simple universal mathematical structures such as the triangle and square as a point of departure. These are treated in contrasting colours in order to maximize optical dynamism and vibrancy. The geometric structures intertwine, appearing precarious and spontaneous, this dynamic state attempts to question notions of order and chaos. Callaghan is searching for a means to portray the notion of 'travel' weather interdimensional or as a reality outside and unknown to us all. These visions of new perspectives of high-density reality or non-reality aim to penetrate a kind of outer space comprising a dream like world where reality meets conscious dreaming. In this forward thinking role ideas about Anticipatory Consciousness are examined and in particular how they connect to or are attached to objective reasoning, allowing questions of curiosity and wonder about the cognitive state to be explored.

Relief Printmaking is the fulcrum of her practice, a populist medium created by the need to visually express and disseminate ideas and information. The premise of the fable, a short story, often with inanimate objects as central characters are used to narrate a moral is central to Kelly’s work. Her makeshift characters establish anecdotes of stagnation, alteration and the Anthropocene
